Pakistan’s JIT Team To Arrive in Delhi Tomorrow

New Delhi:Pakistan’s JIT team to arrive in Delhi tomorrow in Pathankot attack investigation. India on Friday granted visas to the members of Pakistan’s Joint Investigation Team who are set to arrive to begin the probe into the deadly attacks on the Indian Air Force Base in Pathankot.

However, reports state that the team’s movement would be restricted only to the area of the engagement between security forces and the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had said earlier that Pakistan’s joint investigation team would arrive in India on March 27 and start functioning from the very next day.

“Is it possible that when Sartaj Saheb and I meet, the Pathankot issue will not figure? Yes, we talked about the Pathankot issue as well. The Pakistan’s JIT will arrive in India on the night of March 27 and will start functioning the very next day,” she told the media in Pokhara while addressing a joint press briefing with Sartaj Aziz, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s Advisor on Foreign Affairs, on the sidelines of the SAARC Council of Ministers meeting.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh had said that the modalities for conducting the Pathankot attack probe would be worked out once Pakistan’s joint investigation team arrives in the country.

“Pakistan JIT team is coming on March 27 to probe the Pathankot terror attack. The modalities will be worked out once they arrive,” Singh said.

On 2 January, terrorists attacked the Pathankot Air Force Station, part of the Western Air Command of the Indian Air Force. Four terrorists were killed and two security personnel were martyred in the gun battle.
